Russian skater listed two legal substances on anti-doping form
Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva included two legal substances, L-carnitine and hypoxen, on a doping control form, The Washington Post reported.
Valieva declared both substances and a multivitamin called supradyn in a doping control form, according to a filing by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) posted online on the Dossier Center, a website that former Russian oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky runs, the Post reported.
One person with direct knowledge of the case confirmed the document’s authenticity to the newspaper.
Valieva also claimed that her grandfather used the banned drug trimetazidine, explaining that she may have been exposed to it, according to the document.
Valieva tested positive for the banned substance. The Russian figure skater spent a significant amount of time with her grandfather, Valieva's mother testified, according to the Post.
But WADA appeared to reject the claim that the drug was used by her grandfather at all, saying in the filing that “there is inadequate evidence that her grandfather was even using trimetazidine” and that she was “well short of establishing that her grandfather’s medication was the source of the trimetazidine,” according to the document, the Post noted.
